Ok, my question is pretty simple. I have a 35 cube i can attach a picture if intrested. As of now 2 spotcinctus clowns and a lawnmower blenny. I also have 3 bta's in the tank too. Corals are birds nest, red montapora(spelling sorry) and a few zoes. Very fine sand and some macro algea. Codium and shaving bush. My question is, should i not add anything else? Since the clowns found their bta's they stay right with them unless feeding time and the blenny i see sometimes but not alot. I just feel theres no swimming in the tank. I hope you know what i mean. Just no movement of fish swimming. Is there anything i can add that will do ok in that tank or just leave it be?? I was thinking chromis but not sure if clowns will hate that. Any suggestions? Thanks!
 
Fire fish are pretty cool.
But personally id go with a wrasse. More specifically a six line wrasse. I love mine and he's always swimming all around weaving in and out of the rock work. Plus they are nice and colorful
 
Thanks guys. I was looking at a six line but heard they can get nasty. I had 2 blue tails and a 2 stripe damsel before. Not sure i wanta do a damsel again. I know chromis are in the damsel family but seem to be way less aggressive. I will look up the assearer
 
Plus damsels kick the sand up a ton. Well, at least my yellow tails did. And with fine sand i hated that.
 
Well a good way to help the six line be less aggresive is to add them last or close to last which you would be doing.
I've personally never had an issue with mine he's been a model citizen.
 
+ 1 on Yellow Assessor, they are model citizens and very interesting to watch. I have one and he is often seen swimming upside down, or horizontally. He has a general area he stays around and was an ugly brown when I purchased him, I knew the potential and he has since turned a canary yellow with nice green head with orange stripes.
 
I feel you about Damsels. Had a Blue spot damsel and feisty . Did some research and Sapphire Damsel is most tame. So far no aggreesion.
